VMware vSphere 5
Effective November 1, 2011

VMware vSphere Editions are designed for midsize and enterprise customers. The editions must be used in conjunction with VMware vCenter Server (either in an existing setup, or with a separate purchase). These editions are ONLY the server based components required to run vSphere. All editions need to be run with the vCenter Server (either in an existing setup or with a separate new purchase).

** THE ENTERPRISE TO ENTERPRISE PLUS UPGRADE SHOULD BE YOUR DEFAULT SALES MOTION MOVING FORWARD FOR ANY CUSTOMER WHO IS PLANNING TO DEPLOY ON A SERVER WITH MORE THAN 128GB OF RAM. If one calculates cost per GB of vRAM (calculate the vSphere licensing cost for fully loading given hw configuration and divide by total amt of vRAM), Ent+ is cheaper for these hardware configurations (<128GB of RAM).
